About author(s): GARY TAUBES, an award-winning Science and health journalist, is the cofounder and director of the Nutrition Science Initiative (NuSI).
Taubes reveals why the established rules about Eating healthy might be the wrong approach to Weight loss for millions of people, and how low-carbohydrate, high-fat/ketogenic diets can help so many of us achieve and maintain a healthy Weight for life .
It makes clear the vital misconceptions in how we\'ve come to think about obesity and diet (no, people do not become fat simply because they eat too much; hormones play the critical role) and uses the collected clinical experience of the medical community to provide essential practical advice.
The Case for Keto puts the ketogenic diet movement in the necessary historical and scientific perspective.
So why doesn\'t it work for everyone? Taubes, whose seminal book Good Calories, Bad Calories and cover stories for The New York Times Magazine changed the way we look at nutrition and health, sets the record straight.
For years, health organizations have preached the same rules for losing weight: restrict your calories, eat less, exercise more.
Based on twenty years of investigative reporting and interviews with 100 practicing physicians who embrace the keto lifestyle as the best prescription for their patients\' health, Gary Taubes gives us a manifesto for the twenty-first-century fight against obesity and diabetes.
